Boys: Sectional Finals Scoreboard

CBA has already claimed the Non-Public South A crown, now it’s time to see if three more Shore Conference teams can punch tickets to state semifinals next week. Check twitter.com/Joshua_Newman for updates from Marlton, where Toms River East will take on undefeated and defending Group IV champion Cherokee. Toms River East, playing in the South Jersey Group IV final for the third time in five years, is seeking its sectional title since 1985. In addition to Toms River East-Cherokee updates, I should be getting updates from Holmdel-Governor Livingston and Point Beach-Burlington City as well.

Zach Bond scored the tying goal in the 75th minute and the game-winner in the 79th minute as Holmdel, last season’s Group III champion, came from behind for a 2-1 victory at Governor Livingston for its second straight sectional title and third in the last five years.
